Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Project Manager – Development Unit regarding the Environmental Improvement Programme (EIP). The report requested that the Committee determined which EIP schemes were allocated funding as part of the 2016-17 programme as set out in appendix A of the Officer’s report.

The Project Manager – Development Unit referred to the amendment sheet which had been circulated to members and published on the Council’s website which updated typographical errors within the report.

The Committee asked the following questions regarding the report:

i.             For project E1 it was requested that the funding be increased by £1000 so that it could include a community noticeboard and map of the Chisholm Trail.

ii.            It was commented that for the project for Romsey they would like to see the car parking spaces removed and replaced with cycle parking.

Mr Wakefield made the following comments:

i.             He referred to Anglia Ruskin University which had done some simple landscaping around their new building.

ii.            Requested that project E7 was prioritised so that the new building could be linked in with the rest of the area.  

Following discussion, Members resolved (unanimously) to approve the following schemes: E1 with additional £1000 funding, E2, E7 (as revised on the amendments sheet), E8, E9, E12, to combine E13 &14 with a budget of £5000 and E3 would be a reserve project in the event that there was any unspent funding.
